ST. LOUIS -- Viktor Fasth will be available to the Ducks as an option in goal for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Blues as the netminder has recovered from an upper-body injury.

Fasth was hurt early on during the morning skate Tuesday and was unable to make a scheduled start against Minnesota. After a day of rest, the Swedish goalie practiced Thursday and Friday.

Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said after Thursday's win over Dallas that Fasth would be ready to go and the club made it official by assigning Jeff Deslauriers back to Fort Wayne of the ECHL. Deslauriers backed up Jonas Hiller for the game against the Stars.

Boudreau has gone to using both Hiller and Fasth during a busy March schedule. Fasth is 10-1-1 with a 1.92 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage but Hiller has been surging of late and is now 10-2-2 with improving goals-against (2.56) and save numbers (.911).

Only Chicago, with Corey Crawford and Ray Emery, and the Ducks have two goalies with 10 wins each.

Defenseman Hampus Lindholm, the Ducks' first-round draft pick in 2012, was taken off non-roster status Tuesday and the club assigned him to the Norfolk Admirals of the American Hockey League.

Lindholm, 19, has not played since suffering his second concussion in a span of four weeks while playing for Sweden in an exhibition game against Canada prior to the IIHF World Junior Championship.

The Ducks have had Lindholm working out with the team daily in keeping up his conditioning as he recovered. Lindholm was playing with Norfolk this season and had a goal and four assists in 19 games with the Admirals.

Lindholm suffered his first concussion in November when he was on the receiving end of a hit by Blake Parlett of the Connecticut Whale.

The Ducks also sent defenseman Nate Guenin back to Norfolk and assigned goaltender Jeff Deslauriers to the Fort Wayne Komets of the ECHL. They do not play until Sunday at home against Colorado.

The Ducks announced on Wednesday that they have entered into a one-year affiliation agreement with the Fort Wayne Komets of the ECHL.

The Komets will make their debut in the ECHL but have long been a successful home to minor league hockey as they have played continuously since 1952, starting in the International Hockey League and then moving on to the United Hockey League and Central Hockey League.

Fort Wayne captured the CHL title last spring after compiling a 40-19-7 regular-season record. Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau has ties to the Indiana city as he played for the IHL's Komets in 1990-91 and 1991-92 and then took over as coach from 1993-95.

Al Sims, an original assistant with the Ducks from 1993-96, currently coaches the Komets. The Ducks most recently had their ECHL team based in Elmira, N.Y. for two seasons after being in Bakersfield from 2008-10.
